A Land Of Dreams

Do we enter another land?
A land that we can't understand.
When we dream

People and places,
Different faces
Situations, ramifications
Strange, unknown.

Laughter, tears
Bravery and fear
When we dream,
Are shown

Dear ones, come to life again,
Sometimes in a dream
Clocks lose all sense of time,
In this surreal scene.

We become unconscious
For a little while
Entering a different land
That can be exciting or banal.

We do not choose to dream,
Would we if we could?
Is it a phenomenon?
Not to be understood.
